Rudy. Rudy.

I got upgraded to first class on my red-eye flight home last night from Phoenix, so I took my cushy window seat and starting prepping for a long sleep.

Then the man next to me started talking.

He was chatty and pleasant, so I figured we could pass the time until the plane was in the air. We talked about my job, and then his in private security. When I asked for what company, he pointed across the aisle to…

Rudy Giuliani

I decided I could probably spare the guy a little more talk time.

Eventually Giuliani took a bathroom break. When he returned to our aisle, my new friend introduced us. Rudy was friendly and personable; we chatted for a few minutes before he took his seat and slept the rest of flight.
